14. For the Lord of Hosts says: “As I thought to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath,” says the Lord of Hosts, “and I didn’t repent;
15. so again I have thought in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Don’t be afraid.
16. These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,
17. and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate,” says the Lord.
18. The word of the Lord of Hosts came to me.
19. the Lord of Hosts says: “The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth months shall be for the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.”
20. the Lord of Hosts says: “Many peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come;
21. and the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, ‘Let’s go speedily to entreat the favor of the Lord, and to seek the Lord of Hosts. I will go also.’
22. Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of the Lord.”
23. the Lord of Hosts says: “In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
